Potential being visible, but with a varying margin of error, would be awesome and very much like real life imo. The chance of a prospect becoming a bust would add a lot to the game - although I do understand the possible need to add more prospects to the game in order to keep a similar amount of talent in the system. But if potential was equivalent to a scout's subjective assessment, rather than a hard numerical rating - yeah, that would be cool.

This could also apply to injury risk, but aggressiveness is more of a personality trait and maybe that should be discussed separately...

If you get into it, certain personality traits (aggressiveness, chemistry, effort rate, etc.) could be quantified but then there's a compelling argument that you should be able to train them. That opens up another can of worms, one which may best be left closed.

The problem, I think, is not that you have to go to the stats to understand if a player is aggresive or not. Instead the problem is that it is no mentioned at all in the game manual. The game manual should state that their are hidden factors that you have to take into account, and that these could only be understood by looking at the player stats.

If the specific types of hidden factors, e.g. aggresiveness, are listed or not doesn't really matter to me, but it is imprtant that these kind of things are mentioned in the manuals, otherwise it will just feel too random for many, making them frustrated and more likely to abandon the game.

Also there should be warning: "Don't buy new 18-19y players if they have not played any games. They can be hidden aggro monsters."

Why? Judgements of what is good or bad should ofcourse be left to the user. I mean that is what this game is all abort.

Because every other skill can be improved or declined. Aggressiveness can't change, so it isn't shown.


That´s so not true.
Height is shown, cannot change, but highly influences your plans with the dude.
Potential is shown, cannot change, but highly influences your plans with the dude.

I just don´t understand why some characteristics of a player are shown, and some are not. Whatever influences the player´s developement, it should be shown. Or at least mentioned in the manual.
There´s no plausible point treating potential or aggressiveness differently.

Passing is shown, and that might give you an idea about the degree to which a player is Passing Aggressive.

but seriously folks...

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

+1 I totally agree. I just can't see why aggression is less visible than potential which as we all know is really by far the hardest thing to judge. Every NBA team knows how aggressive players are but they pay scouts fortunes to try and find players with potential.
